PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES.—

We would again call the attention of our readers to Miss S. J. Hale's Boarding and Day School for Young Ladies , 922 Spruce Street. This school combines, in an unusual degree, the comforts of a home with the discipline and regularity of a school. The health and deportment, as well as the intellectual advancement of the scholars, have careful attention. The course of English study is thorough and liberal. A superior French teacher resides in the family, to aid in conversation in that language. The musical department is under the care of those qualified in the highest degree to improve the pupils intrusted to them; and all the other accomplishments are well and carefully taught.

Miss S. J . HALE' S BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES , 1826 Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, Penna.

This school has now entered on its seventh year; the success and present prosperity are very satisfactory to its friends. The design of the Principal is to give a thorough and liberal English education, to furnish the best facilities for acquiring the French language, and the best instruction in music and the other accomplishments. The Assistants employed are of the first class and highest merit. French is taught by an experienced instructress, a lady lately from France who resides in the family; and thus the pupils have ample opportunities of acquiring the accomplishment of speaking the language. Particular and continued attention is paid to the moral training, and also to the health and physical development of the young ladies .
